QUOTE:"In recent years, bogus medications have become a growing public health threat because of counterfeiters ability to infiltrate our drug distribution system with worthless counterfeits, FDA acting commissioner Dr. Lester Crawford told reporters in a telephone briefing.
Viagra, Pfizers blockbuster impotence drug, has been especially targeted by counterfeiters and copycats, while privately owned Purdue Pharma says theft is its primary concern in tagging Oxycontin, a narcotic notorious among abusers."
I'm not sure what the problem with this idea is....they are putting the transmitters on the factory BOTTLE, which will prevent counterfiters from introducing counterfit drugs into the pharmacy system. They're NOT talking about microchipping the drug themselves or even the individual script bottle you get sent home with....just the bottle that goes from factory to pharmacy....I don't know about you but I SURE don't want to pick up my OC's at the pharmacy, get them home only to find out their fakes! Can someone explain what the opposition is?
